Never Bet the Davel Your Head

Both removing Trump from office and expanding Medicare over his veto requires a 2/3 vote in the Senate. But only one moves the "we don't have the votes" scolds. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Not a band, but Defund the Dictaphone, hit it in its money bone, that's where they expect it least

no way? yahweh!

Is it possible we're going to see the end of Bolsonaro and Netanyahu and a major setback for Trump all in a little over a week?

it's funny how they just accuse any nonwhite person who isn't a slobbering right-wing sycophant of being "anti-white"

A 2025 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, Omar Yaghi is the son of Palestinian refugees who grew up in Jordan. He just left the US to move to China after raising concerns about rising anti-immigrant sentiment, like the kind shown here. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/china-than...

All standing pangolins look like Bob Cratchit asking for Christmas day off.

if you want to follow ANYTHING from what elected Lula here in brazil, this is the most important lesson and change of mindset that happened here just don't give them the attention they want. let them speak amongst themselves and let us win by silencing them with our voices

Bustin’ makes you feel good? Sure, but it’s also highly addictive. If you or someone you know is experimenting with bustin’, help is available. Bust safely

Robert F. Kennedy Sr. spent his time in government fighting *against* racist bigots who said these exact same things, except their rants were against “Africans”
